Alicante

Alicante is a bustling Mediterranean port with a splendid palm-lined promenade, lots of outdoor cafes and the spacious beach of Playa Postiguet. Highlights in the town include its imposing cliff-top Castillo de Santa Barbara, built on the site of a Carthaginian fort founded in the 3rd Century BC.
